I wonder if she is hoping to see him dead

Her father has been lying in bed for years - yes almost 24 years. He has lost all his senses but is able to swallow food when he is fed. She takes care of him well with maids around and this as you can see has been going on for years I wonder if she would be relieved if he breathed his last - but when? I feel for my friend.

Same with dementia. My Mother lived to be 97. Dementia plagued her final years- did she enjoy life or would it have been a mercy to release her?

She will never resort to artificial means but it is not easy to take care of someone who lies there for years.

@sallypup We all have to go one day and that should be the normal way

@allknowing I agree. My husband has said more than once that he wants to be let go if he can't get up and about at all.

She does everything to keep him alive and yet I wonder if she would be relieved if she saw his end

This question has been thought of for decades. Now there are countries where people can die when their time comes.

She would pperhaps want him to die naturally and not by taking any extreme steps

I am sure she does not want to see him die. Watching someone like that is really bad for all involved. So sad.

That is a very long time to care for someone like that.
